Youth is a long tunnel, there will always be someone who will walk with you

A very surprising movie. At first I only heard about it because of the relationship between the protagonists, but I didn't pay attention to it until it went online. I thought it was a simple romance. no. The wallflower boy, he observes everything and understands everything, but he just decorates the surroundings like a wallflower and doesn't participate in it.

Not much to say about the plot. Charlie is simple, with a kind of focus from the inside out, and she devoted herself to tutoring SAT coursework in order to help Shan go to college. For Patrick, stand out and bravely protect your partner.

But this is not a simple memoir of youth, just love, parties, music. Youth is more like the tunnel in the film, it is long and slow, a little restless, there is no lack of depression, I don’t know the purpose, and I can’t see a way out for the time being. But fortunately, there are our favorite people and the most familiar music around us. During this wonderful and blooming time, we can open the roof of the car and say we are ifinite against the night and the wind. In middle school, we gained unprecedented freedom, of course. There is a time difference in the Celestial Dynasty, and it is delayed until the university. In any case, we will eventually come out of all kinds of past and present, both overt and dark, knowing that we can't choose where we come from, but we can choose where we go from there. This is enough.

The male protagonist is very attentive and delicate, and people who seem dull actually have the best philosophy of life. Because of their concentration, they can happily experience all this with laser-like precise observation, and all the happiness and joy are multiplied by a magnification factor because of the dullness of the mind.

I hope everyone is so lucky to have such a cherished friendship, or a stronger love, to carry laughter and tears in the tunnel, share and be moved together.

    "Some people forget what they looked like when they were 16 years old." I like the last line.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower quotes

  • Mary Elizabeth: Charlie, Charlie, what do you think about high school?

    Charlie: High school? Bullshit. The cafeteria is called the Nutrition Center; people wear their letter jackets even when it's 98 degrees out. And why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport. We all know it.

    Mary Elizabeth: [laughing] This kid is crazy.

    Charlie: Mary Elizabeth, I think you're really gonna regret that, you know

    [imitates electric razor]

    Charlie: haircut when you look back at old photographs. I'm really sorry. That sounded like a compliment in my head.

  • Charlie: Patrick never likes to be serious, so it took me a while to get what happened. When he was a junior, Patrick started seeing Brad on the weekends in secret. I guess it was hard, too, because Brad had to get drunk every time they fooled around. Then Monday in school Brad would say, 'Man, I was so wasted. I don't remember a thing.' This went on for seven months. When they finally did it Brad said he loved Patrick and then he started to cry. No matter what Patrick did, Brad kept saying that his dad would kill him and saying he was going to hell. Patrick was eventually able to help Brad get sober. I asked Patrick if he felt sad that he still had to keep it a secret, and he said no. Because at least now Brad doesn't have to get drunk to love him.
